I want to see him stand up
I want to see him stand up
An Island by Karen Jennings
As some people know, I am a voracious reader. Considering the state of our country, I am trying to read books that I own. I am starting with foreign authors, then American history, women authors. Where would you suggest I begin?
I am realizing more and more that the American history I was taught was from the perspective of white men
I know what trolls are
No I am not new but in my 67 years I have learned not everyone is going to agree with everything I believe
Trolls or people who don't agree with you
The greatest weapon against fascism is books
Detained: A Boy's Journal of Survival and Resilience by D Esperanza. It will be a very long time before I forget this book
Why aren't they tracking down Mike Johnson and the House of Representatives who left on vacation early so they wouldn't have to do anything about Epstein and Trump?
Hurricane season is now in full force
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
She started her legal career on a daytime court TV show
No it is something out of Putin's playbook
Do people not remember that she started her legal career as a judge on a daytime court TV show?
When he crashes the American economy and people finally get pissed off, he is going to declare marital law, suspend elections and remain in office. Why else would he be building a gold ballroom unless he has no intention of ever leaving.
Just look at the tariffs. President McKinley tried the same thing and crashed the American economy in the 1800s. The same thing is going to happen again. I rest my case
When you don't know history you are bound to repeat it. Trump knows nothing about American history
I am voting for the women who were their victims
Well that is creepy as hell
Why should I believe anything that Trump says about Gaza when he has said he wants to turn Gaza into a Trump resort?
Then keep a detailed record of all the repairs necessary and when he leaves office you tell him pay the bill or the jet doesn't go.
What are you going to do about all the food Trump destroyed instead of feeding starving people? What are you doing about all the contraceptives he destroyed? We need action not words.
I was walking to the store. It's extremely hot. I saw a woman with what looked like all her possessions beside her sitting on a bench. I got her a bottle of water. I told my wife and she took more water and food. She asked for feminine products. Why should any woman have to beg for a basic need
He actually said that.
Wait. That makes no sense to me. Why is he in a bullet-proof golf cart then in the open when he swings? Please explain that to me.
While he is issuing pardons maybe Brian Kohlberg should be next?
You can send all the teachers, but the student has to want to learn. Trump already thinks he knows it all.
Please read/reread The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck. Yes, Steinbeck wrote it in the late 1930s. Our government is attempting to do the same in creating a permanent underclass. Putting farmers in charge of migrant farm workers is returning this nation back to indentured servitude. Wake up
Read Autocracy Inc by Anne Applebaum. Eye opening
Home Depot has made significant financial contributions to Trump's campaigns.
Their plan is called Project 2025
A lot of people who are residents of Venice did not want this wedding in their city.
When was the last time they went in a library?
Key word "might."
Of course, they want to cut funds for the Library of Congress and libraries overall. Didn't Trump say he liked the uneducated?
Even if a person has a list of ICE agents what difference is it going to make if they don't have name badge
Probably the same place they were at the first inauguration
This man will not stop until he destroys the planet
That he is paying in crypto currency
That's the best news of the day
The Women's Prize for Fiction and Nonfiction winners were just announced. The Story of a Heart by Dr Rachel Clarke won the Nonfiction Prize. The Safekeep won the Prize for Fiction. With all the chaos in our nation the humanity in The Story of a Heart will restore your faith in humanity.
Thank you Jimmy Kimmel
Or die
The Medical School of Fox News
A reckless idiot who got his medical degree from FOX News
I agree
Or is it the start of a military coup in OUR nation's Capitol
Vaccines are in the hands of an idiot with no medical degree
No vaccines are in the hands of an idiot with no medical education.
It reminds me of the pictures of our troops sleeping on the floor of our Capitol after the January 6 insurrection.
Something I don't understand. What happened to freedom of choice? I can do the research about what food I eat then make my own decision. I can decide what vaccines I want to get. My doctor gives me the pros and cons. I don't need an idiot with no medical training telling me.
And then shut down our nation once again.
Wish we could throw RFK, Jr. out.
And we trust this man with nuclear weapons when he turns the military on his own country
It's the "fashion district " of LA. Not where the very expensive stores are but where clothing manufacturers are. Where people sit over sewing machines for very long hours and very low wages. These are the more inexpensive clothing that a lot of us depend on. One was raided and 46 people arrested.
Did you hear Lawrence O'Donnell on MSNBC last night? It is on YouTube. I found it very enlightening. For instance he claimed that the war in Ukraine is like two children on the playground. Isn't that what we witnessed between him and Elon?
Just saw where Trump is sending 700 Marines to Los Angeles. Start counting the days until he declares marital law and shuts the country down again. Start stocking up on food, water, and supplies
That's very sad
He wants to make it more violent so he can invoke the Insurrection Act and declare marital law
How many of these people who gate immigrants are willing to pick vegetables when the temperature is 100 degrees.
I am absolutely terrified that he is going to declare marital law
There was also an excellent interview Gov. Newsom did with Brian Taylor Cohen if you are interested
Add invoke the Insurrection Act and declare marital law. That's what is next
Just one step toward invoking the Insurrection Act, declaring marital law and shutting down this country once again. We bought food, water and supplies yesterday. Get prepared. It's going to get a lot worse before it gets better.
I ponder what I saw over the weekend with the ICE agents and the federalizing of the National Guard in California. Will Trump invoke the Insurrection Act and put active duty military on American streets and declare marital law? Yes, I believe that is next. Be prepared for Trump's next shutdown
If people are not taught history they are bound to repeat it.
That will happen but it will be spun as illegal immigrants were shot by protestors
And he told us there were good people on both sides
It's a very sad, sad day but also a very frightening and scary day.
If he declares martial law Trump once again shuts this country down
Entirely possible
I blame Trump totally for this shit show. It's just one step toward declaring martial law.
Are you really surprised?
This is really frightening. Is Trump's military birthday parade a parade or something much worse. In light of Trump turning the National Guard on CA I am thinking much more
Until he gathers enough evidence to invoke the 25th amendment on Trump
Did you here that Tennessee is asking for donations to help with storm damage. June 1 is the start of hurricane season.
Better start praying now that we don't have a major hurricane this season.
I was a literature major so I would find any biography of an author interesting. 500 plus pages of Alexander Hamilton would not be of interest to me.
Those things affected his writing
I thought it was very interesting
Trump and Musk cut a lot of people from FEMA and NOAA. Sunday is the beginning of hurricane season. Did you hear what happened in New Orleans yesterday?
You know that Trump will turn it into hid birthday party and no one will stop it.
Are there signs not to climb on the railing?
Isabel I don't think he wants to get rid of Powell. It will send the Stock Market and the Bond Market into a deep dive. It doesn't mean Trump won't do because retaliation is his only motivation
I am waiting.
The Book of Disappearance
That's incredibly sad
I want a hat that says "Make Trump Go Away." I will settle for one that says "Make Musk Go Away. "
I am holding out for the day Tesla goes the way of the DeLorean auto.
Did you hear about the Tesla accident in Toronto? Apparently when the car crashed the doors automatically locked and the people could not get out and four people died.
It's the same as white washing American history
We were going to the UK on our honeymoon in June. We have changed our minds for fear that we might not be able to return to the United States. This is upsetting.
We are the party of empathy. Maybe that is the problem
How about sending him an email to tell us five things he accomplished last week and five things he failed at?
I have noticed that when I mention a book how many people say I haven't read a book since I graduated from high school. It's deplorable.
I read his book Hillbilly Elegy. Absolutely horrendous person.
Self centered
You do realize when the power goes out it doesn't ask who you supported in the election.
Start worrying about someone other than yourself because it is not going to phase Trump
